We are Sustainably Inspired

We consistently work to promote the well-being of our associates and those in the communities around us. We have a comprehensive Occupational Health & Safety program that covers all operations and associates, including training, risk assessments and incident investigation. We also offer health and well-being programs with our benefits. Our products can support communities in fulfilling one of their most fundamental and important goals: providing safer, cleaner drinking water, which directly contributes to positive health outcomes.

We are committed to promoting gender equality at all levels of our company. In 2023, we met our target of 30% gender diversity on our Board of Directors and track gender throughout our global workforce. Our comprehensive Code of Business Conduct and Ethics covers human rights and employment practices usch as harassment and discrimination. We offer a suite of programs to elecate our female talent into leadership roles, fostering success for both participants and our business. Women in our supply chain are supported through our supplier diversity target, which includes a focus on women-owned businesses.

Our commitment to sustainability is fundamental to our business strategy and guides how we innovate and create resilient water solutions. Our product portfolio includes water safety and control products, storm water infrastructure and flow systems, low-flow sensor restroom fixtures and drinking water products that positively impact the environment and human hygiene. Investments in drinking water have led to the development of a combined lead and PFOA- and PFOS-reducing filter, providing cleaner safer drinking water for our customers. In our own facilities, we collect and review water use data to help us determine water use improvement opportunities. The Zurn Foundation seeks partnerships with organizations and school districts in areas where lead levels are high and resources are low.

Zurn Elkay is committed to reducing our operational energy use and increasing our use of electricity from renewable sources. We have committed to reduce our energy consumed per US dollar of operating revenue by 15% by 2024 and to source 25% of electricity from renewable sources by 2030. We track energy data and perform energy audits to identify efficiency opportunities. We have done several LED lighting and compressed air projects to reduce usage while increasing the purchase of Renewable Energy Credits (RECs). Our facility in Paso Robles, CA has an onsite solar array and we actively look for more opportunities to procure renewable energy.

Zurn Elkay is committed to respecting and supporting workers throughout our operations and supply chain. Our business code of conduct and ethcs, Anti-Corruption principles, and human rights statement and training provide associates with safe working conditions, treating them fairly and with dignity. The same applies to our suppliers through the Supplier Excellence Manual. We are dedicated to protecting the health and well-being of our associates by ensuring our operations and workplaces are safe, healthy environments. We believe supporting our associates' growth will enable us to build on our leadership in water-management solutions, better serve our customers and support associate retention. To those ends we provide a broad array of programs that help associates learn and refine skills at all stages of their professional journeys.

Our values -- particularly Integrity in Everything We Do and Total Associate Engagement - compel us to build a culture that values and welcomes differences among our associates, customers and the broader community. Our DEI Pillars, Inclusion, Recruitment and Development, and Community, underpin our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Policy. We are committed to improving the diversity of our suppliers as we pursue a comprehensive approach to maintain a sustainable supply chain. We define diverse suppliers as those owned by women, racial and ethnic minorities, LGBTQ+ individuals, veterans and suppliers in historically underutilized urban and rural communities (HUBZones).

Our business places us at the center of critical community issues related to water cleanliness, safety, conservation and infrastructure. Our products can support communities in fulfilling one of their most fundamental and important goals: providing safer, cleaner drinking water. We support legislation the safeguards safe drinking water. One of the key pillars of the Zurn Foundation is Basic Needs, which support organizations that improve quality of life by delivering essentials such as food, shelter, care and drinking water.

Zurn Elkay approaches climate resilience through the integration of climate risks and opportunities with our business strategy and Enterprise Risk Management (ERM). As a growth-oriented company, pure-play water business, we offer one of the industry's broadest ranges of engineered water solutions and sustainable plumbing products. Our pressure-reducing valves and low-flow restroom fixtures help reduce water usage to offset water scarcity and our energy-efficient hand dryers eliminate the need for paper towels. To achieve our climate goals Zurn Elkay has set a target to reduce our Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions intensity by 50% by 2030. To achieve our goal we are investigating energy reduction initiatives, such as LED lighting and compressed air, that we can implement at our facilities as well as renewable energy procurement opportunities including Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) and rooftop solar utilization at select facilities.

As a leader in innovation, one of our strategic goals is to help customers access and manage clean water, particularly in areas experiencing water scarcity and poor water quality. Through the Zurn foundation, product donations and volunteer hours we support efforts that aid in the protection, preservation and restoration of major rivers and their watersheds. Our bottle filling stations encourage the use of reusable water bottles rather than single-use plastic bottles that can end up in oceans and waterways.

Zurn Elkay's compliance and ethics codes and policies align with the U.N. Global Compact's Human Rights and Anti-Corruption Principles. Our Anti-Corruption Law Policy is integral to our compliance and ethics program. We require biennial anti-corruption training and have a strong due diligence process. We have specific requirements in place for our supply chain for responsible sourcing and outline our expectations in the Supplier Excellence Manual.
